The '''Circle of Life''' is a special ring in ''[[Dragon Quest V]]''.  
The '''Circle of Life''' is a accessory ring in {{DQ5}}, being the third of the fabled rings.


Similar to the [[Recovery ring]] (which it is probably based on, as they have very similar names in Japanese) it recovers HP for the wearer when walking. In the [[Super Famicom]] version however, this ring is far, far stronger than the recovery ring - restoring a whopping 10 points of HP for every step taken. This was reduced to 1 HP for every step taken in the remakes. In battles the ring recovers 10 HP after every turn for the wearer.

The Circle of Life is obtained after defeating King Korol in Crocodilopolis, and restores HP while strolling on the field as well as while fighting when equipped. The amount of healing varies between versions of the game, with 10 HP restored per step in the SFC original, and 1 HP per step in all other versions. The ring restores 10 HP at the end of each turn in battle in every version of the game.

It along with the Circle of Fire and the Circle of Water is required to unlock the portal in the Estuary Sanctuary that leads to to Nadiria. While it may appear that the three rings are permanently lost after this event, players can in fact go back and retrieve the rings at any time by revisiting the statues in Estuary Sanctuary. To use the rings in Nadiria, players must first visit either Precaria or Mt. Zugzwang at least once, after which they can use the Zoom spell to return via those two locations.

Trivia[edit]

The Circle of Life is similar in function and design to the Recovery ring, which predated the circle's appearance by four years, and the two share very similar names in the Japanese language.
